As a constellation of 8 small satellites without any propulsion system, CYGNSS needs to be operated with passive techniques to control its trajectories. Such maneuvers are used to optimize the coverage of cyclones, and to avoid potential collisions with other objects in orbit.
Visit this section to learn more about those maneuvers as well as the collision avoidance process followed in the mission. Daily orbit status of the constellation (satellite spacing, altitudes, orbit decay) are also provided.
